Volume 1 Chapter 8: Heroic Courage
About an hour later, Song Jiang and the others walked out of the Taishou Mansion, all with solemn faces, but they saw a person coming to the Taishou Mansion, dressed in white, holding a little white fox on his shoulder, who was not the fox king Yunzhong.
I saw that Yunzhong's face was haggard, his eyes were deep-set, and his tiredness was fully revealed, but when he saw everyone, he still did not lose his courtesy, and flashed to the side after seeing the salute one by one, letting Song Jiang and the others go first, but when Fei Na, the female leader of the Demon Sword Troupe, passed by, Yunzhong said softly: "At five o'clock in the afternoon, wait for me in Hengfeng Building." ”
Fena nodded and didn't say anything, but the black-clothed young man behind her raised her eyebrows and cast a defiant glance at the clouds.
Yun Zhong smiled, but found that the young man was not the only one who cast a provocative gaze at him, and the other gaze made him feel coerced.
Shi Wengong looked at Yunzhong and said softly: "Hurry up and get better, there is still a battle between us!"
Yun Zhong laughed: "Actually, you can also accompany it now." ”
Shi Wengong's face turned angry: "You look down on me?"
Yunzhong was helpless: "Then wait a few days." ”
Shi Wengong's eyes were about to pop out, but he didn't know what to say, so he snorted coldly and strode away.
Yunzhong shrugged, smiled apologetically at the others, and walked into the gate of the Taishou Mansion, and when he passed the two stone beasts, the tail of the little fox on his shoulder flicked twice.
Arriving at the conference hall, Taishou Gongsun Du was sitting upright in his seat, watching his subordinates clean up the leftover tea left by the guests just now. Seeing Yunzhong coming in, Gongsun Du immediately stood up: "Xiaoyun, it's messy here, follow me to the back garden." ”
In a pavilion in the back garden, the seats and tea have been prepared, the two came to the pavilion, after sitting down, the cloud took out a box, put it on the stone table, Gongsun Du took the box and opened it, only to see that there were a hundred copper gourd-like things inside, and there was a lanyard on the gourd, which was convenient to hang on the waist, Gongsun Du took out one, glanced at the cloud, and the cloud said: "Left left and right." Gongsun Du nodded, turned the lid of the gourd to the left twice, turned to the right, and then turned to the left, only to see that a circle of light suddenly appeared on the gourd, and after the circle seemed to be a small room of about three square meters, Gongsun Du put the teapot on the table to the aperture, only to see the teapot directly into the space, floating in the air, and then Gongsun Du directly put his hand into the aperture, took out the teapot, and put it back on the table.
"Hahahaha, seconds, it's wonderful!In the clouds, your refiner's cultivation is a ground level?" Gongsun Du admired.
Yun Zhong said with a smile: "Two months ago, I got a little benefit, and I broke through to the Heavenly Rank One Heavy Heaven." ”
Gongsun Du sighed: "Heroes are out of youth!" Twenty-two-year-old heaven-level refiners are rare in the whole world.
At this time, two more people walked into the back garden, and when they saw it in the clouds, they quickly stood up and stepped forward to greet them: "The disciple has seen the master!"
Among the two, the middle-aged man who walked behind hurriedly took two quick steps to support him, it was the teacher in the clouds, Sun Cheng, the thousand households of the Tuntian Army who repaired the Qing Zhai.
Sun Cheng looked towards the person beside him and introduced Yunzhong: "This is Lord Gongsun Yue, the captain of the material officer under the command of General Ziyu. ”
Yunzhong hurriedly saluted, and Gongsun Du behind him smiled: "Xiaoyun doesn't need to be polite, Gongsun Yue is my brother and my own family." ”
The four of them sat down again, and Gongsun Du handed the box to Gongsun Yue: "A hundred space bags are here, which is much larger than the volume purchased in Zhenbei City." Only then did Yun Zhong know that the buyer of the hundred space bags turned out to be Gongsun Yue, and he thought that it was prepared for General Ziyu's army of Rakshasas.
Gongsun Yue put away the box, took out a large iron box from his space bag, and said to Yunzhong, "One hundred thousand gold coins are here." Seeing the expression on Yunzhong's face, he said with a smile: "You don't need to be polite, just accept it, I knew that you were a hero, in the battle of Luoxi City, Montenegro County, you made great achievements but don't want to reward them, but the battle with the Rakshasa is still protracted, and there are many places to rely on you." ”
When Yunzhong heard the words, he had to accept it.
The four of them chatted for a while, and Gongsun Yue asked Gongsun Du, "How about the recruitment of soldiers with those mercenary groups and the heroes?"
Seeing that he talked about the military affairs, Yun Zhong hurriedly got up and wanted to leave, but Gongsun Du said: "It's okay, my own family, I don't need to hide it from you, you sit for a while, and I still have something to ask you." "I had to sit down in the clouds.
Gongsun Du said to Gongsun Yue: "Recruit a total of 10,000 people from them, and say that they will defend the city for our army for three months, hoping that after three months, Lord Ziwen can raise enough soldiers to come over." ”
Gongsun Yue nodded: "There is no need to worry about this, Lord Ziwen has ordered Lord Yan Gang to recruit 200,000 troops in the whole Youzhou, and it should not be a problem to go to the front line for 100,000 people after three months of training, but all the Taishou adults have to have a headache for military expenses." ”
Gongsun Du smiled bitterly: "Nine years of war with the Rakshasa Kingdom, although there are good news every year, but it has never been able to win completely, whether it is the soldiers or the finances, it is unbearable, especially my Menghe County, which is at the forefront of the forefront, what room Wei and Su Shen still come to make trouble from time to time, it is really unbearable, compared with nine years ago, the population of my Menghe County is less than 600,000 people." Just two days ago, another group of Murwei's rogues came in and slaughtered hundreds of people before and after, but fortunately Yunzhong defeated them. ”
Sun Cheng said: "The rest of the Murwei people have all been hunted and killed by my Tuntian army. ”
Gongsun Du nodded: "Good job!"
Gongsun Yue smiled and said: "Brother, you have to hold on, although Qingdaicheng won a big victory and destroyed a main force of the Rakshasa Army, but the Rakshasa Kingdom has transferred about 150,000 troops to the two counties of Montenegro and Baishui, and now this battlefield is already a meat grinder, it depends on who can't hold it first." ”
Gongsun Du smiled bitterly.
After chatting for a while, Yun Zhong was a little restless on the side, and finally heard Gongsun Du say to Yun Zhong: "Xiaoyun, I want to hear the truth, what is going on with your cultivation, is there a way to recover?"
Yun Zhong said secretly: "It's here." Gong Sheng replied: "If you go crazy, there may be two more dispersal exercises in the near future, but I am a doctor myself, as long as I find all the medicines, I should be able to recover within a year." ”
Gongsun Du smiled: "I forgot, you are still a ground-level doctor." ”
Sun Cheng looked at Yun Zhong with some worry in his eyes, and Yun Zhong smiled at him to show his reassurance.
Gongsun Yue nodded and said, "Ground price doctor, Heavenly Rank Refiner, even if your martial arts cultivation has not recovered, you can be regarded as a masterpiece." ”
Gongsun Du said: "Xiaoyun, I invited you here today to ask you to kill someone." It's just that your martial arts suddenly went wrong, so you can choose to take or not take this task. ”
Yunzhong asked, "I don't know who Taishou wants me to kill?"
Gongsun Du said: "The national teacher of the Ministry of Chambers and Bojin, said the Bank of China. ”
Sun Cheng's face changed greatly: "The Bank of China said that although he is just a literati, but the Nabo Gold Department controls hundreds of thousands, and the masters are like clouds, this task is ......" He didn't dare to continue, but his eyes were clearly stopping.
Yunzhong didn't seem to see it, and looked at Gongsun Du: "I don't know if you can give me two years?"
It was Gongsun Yue who replied: "Naturally, this task is not trivial, and it is understandable that it takes a long time." ”
Gongsun Du said: "There are two things in front, the first is the reward, Lord Ziwen has already made a promise, after the deed is completed, he will be rewarded with his 30,000 acres of land and a mine in Yangping County, and you can also be awarded the title of baron." ”
Yunzhong smiled: "What a big deal." ”
Gongsun Du continued: "The second thing is that no matter whether you succeed or fail, I want you to do it cleanly. ”
Yunzhong said: "The little one understands. ”
Gongsun Du gave Gongsun Yue a look, and Gongsun Yue took out another wooden box and said to Yunzhong: "Funds, 200,000 gold coins." ”
Yun Zhong didn't say much, nodded and accepted.
A few people chatted a few more words, and Gongsun Du served tea to the guests.
When he left the Taishou Mansion, Sun Cheng whispered to Yunzhong: "Xiaoyun, why do you have to respond to this matter, you know how many earth-level masters in Zhenbei City dare not take this task." ”
Yun Zhong said with a smile: "Within twenty years, the Bojin Department has grown from a medium-sized tribe to the overlord of the Murowei Prairie, controlling 400,000 strings, and the ambition is by no means small, if it has been left unified, after the Bojin Department unifies the Murowei, the next target will be my big business, at that time, hundreds of thousands of Murowei Iron Riders, I am afraid that it is a more terrible threat than the Rakshasa country." ”
Sun Cheng said: "Do you know how many masters there are in the Bojin Department?"
Yun Zhong said: "Bojin Dahan Temujin, in the late stage of the Heavenly Rank, there are twelve Ten Thousand Commanders, all of whom are Heavenly Rank. ”
Sun Cheng was shocked: "Where did you get the news!" He originally thought that Bojin had three heaven-level masters in charge, and his strength was already amazing, but unexpectedly, Yunzhong said that there were more than ten heaven-level masters, and you must know that there were only five heaven-level masters in the entire nineteen counties of Youzhou, and this still included General Ziyu who led the troops to fight with the Rakshasas, of course, Youzhou Mu Ziwen was an existence that had surpassed the heaven-level existence.
Seeing Yunzhong's expression, Sun Cheng knew that he had made up his mind, so he didn't say more, just patted him on the shoulder and said, "Make good use of those funds, find more helpers, safety first." ”
Yunzhong said goodbye to his master, returned to Qingfeng Village, and after saying hello to Song Jiang, he first went to see the injury of the Blood Swallow, and then Yunzhong summoned Helian Peng and ordered: "This time, my Flying Fox Regiment has suffered heavy losses, and after we rest for a few days, you will start recruiting new members, recruit in the whole county, only recruit Yellow Rank Eight Heavens and above, in terms of treatment, each Yellow Rank warrior, twenty gold coins per month, each Xuan Rank master, one hundred gold coins per month, and five hundred gold coins per month for each Xuan Rank Twelve Heavens or more." ”
Helian Peng took the order and said with a smile: "This treatment, I'm afraid that the people of the other mercenary groups will sharpen their heads and jump to us." ”
Yun Zhong said: "Except for the Three Mountains Regiment, the Storm Bear Regiment and the Demon Sword Regiment, as long as the people of the other mercenary groups are willing to come, we will accept them all, and recruit two hundred people first." ”
Helian Peng said: "There are so many moves, this is not your style." ”
Yun Zhong said: "It's Rakshasa and Murwei, we should do more." ”
After that, he took out the two boxes of gold coins given by Gongsun Yue just now and handed them to Helian Peng: "First take 10,000 gold coins to the families of the dead brothers, and then take 10,000 gold coins to distribute to the surviving brothers. ”
Helian Peng wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yunzhong waving his hand: "There are two hundred and eighty thousand left, just as a recruitment and the funds for these few months, I will be busy recently, you still have Chu Duoqing and Chu Yiren to take care of me more." ”
Helian Peng accepted the gold coin and said: "Commander, it is not your fault that so many brothers have been lost this time, and no brother will blame you, please take the overall situation seriously, the brothers are all looking at you." ”
Yunzhong smiled faintly and waved him to step back.
After Helian Peng left, Yunzhong looked at the west and muttered: "The main reason for the strength of the Bojin Department is not the resourcefulness that the Bank of China said, it seems that Lord Ziwen has also lost his eyes." ”
